You've reached Tony Stark. If you have this number, you've done something brilliant. Congratulations. Now please don't waste my time.

You can tell me what hell you were thinking, telling Schmidt what you did.

[Right to business, as usual. But he's not exactly happy right now, either.]

I told him the truth.

This could have gone two ways; either it snaps him out of it and he doesn't grow up to be a megalomaniac or it does nothing but make him want me dead. And considering he's already tried it, doesn't mean much. So nothing to lose and everything to gain.

He's a kid, Tony. He didn't need to know, whether it changes him or not.

I call bullshit. What the hell does it matter how old he is?

[savesthedance]

He's been sobbing for-- don't even know how long anymore. Don't you think that's a little cruel?

[technetronic]

[Starting to get a little bit defensive.]

He can handle it. I've heard worse.

[savesthedance]

You aren't the one having to listen to it.

Well tell him to suck it up and don't turn into a fucking insane maniac then.

[savesthedance]

Doesn't work that way, Tony.

What do you want me to do? I'm not apologising for what I said.

[savesthedance]

Never said you had to. [He'd like him to, but he could see that was pointless to expect.]

[He jerks his head up defiantly.]

Then what was the whole point of this? To voice your disapproval? Yeah, thanks I've heard enough of that before, I don't need that from you as well.

[savesthedance]

To let you know what you did. I may not approve, but it was your choice. And I hope you're happy with it.

[Yeah, he's just ending the conversation there.]
